boondoggle
[boon-dog-uhl]
noun: work of little or no value done merely to keep or look busy
|
A boondoggle is busywork dressed up as meaningful effort. Anyone who's ever been involved with a pointless work task or project knows the feeling. If you want a word that's all show and no substance, go for boondoggle. |
Example: The three-hour meeting to discuss the company's free coffee policy felt like a complete boondoggle.
